I've got a C# Windows app with an Adobe PDF Reader Control in one of the forms. I'm using acrobat to place buttons in the PDF that will be viewed. I need some way to make the button click in the PDF to be registered as an event in my C# app. I'm having a hard time figuring out how to do this. Would this be easier with an Adobe Acrobat control instead of Reader??? I understand that it might be necessary to put some Javascript in the PDF that runs when the button is clicked and then reference it through my C# (a document level function???). If anyone can guide me in the right direction, it would help immensely.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and please keep in mind that I'm pretty new to C# and know nothing at all about JavaScript.
Thanks,
Engineer Joe

Where did you get the adobe pdf reader control?
If you create an click event handler for the control it should register when you click it.
Wait now.... that was stupid!

got the control by adding reference under Project ---> Add Reference. Chose something like AcroPDFLib from the COM tab. Then right-clicked the toolbox, choose items, and chose Adobe Reader. In my code, I open the appropriate PDF. So I get the PDF to open with no problem. Now I have to get it to register a button click in the PDF. Problem is that it has to be done at runtime, and i'm also not sure adobe provides a way to reference the event through C#. I'm not that great with event handlers...til now i've just chosen them from the menu options...but that's not possible with a button that isn't present until runtime... I've seen some some code that supposedly runs a javascript function in a PDF when a button is clicked, and i hoping that I could create an event like that somehow.
Sidenote: I'm amazed at how very little functionality the Adobe Reader control has. I haven't found a way to actually get the X, Y, and Zoom coordinates of the viewing window... They can be set easily enough, but I haven't found a way to GET them.

Take a look at this[^] then check if the click is inside the pdf control.
Hope this helps

While this can tell me everything about the mouseclick, i can't find how it will tell me anything about a button being pressed... There's no way for a mouseevent itself to convey what button was pressed. It seems that the original problem of not being able to identify a button in a PDF is the problem... Maybe I should repost the question in that manner...My subject title is misleading now that i know more about the subject. Thank you for the reference to this tool though. I can see it being useful for me in the future.

Hi
How to convert System.Type to Form ?
i wrote this code :
FormsCollection forms = new FormsCollection();
foreach(Type t in types)
{
if (t.BaseType == typeof(Form))
{
Form frm = (Form)t;
forms.Add(frm);
}
}
but, the following error message display :
Cannot convert type 'System.Type' to 'System.Windows.Forms.Form'
How to solve this problem ?
Thanks

I don't understand what it is you are trying to do (what is types?) but you could consider if (t is Form) forms.Add(t as Form);

You will need to instanciate a new Form in your if block, a Type is a Type, not an object so it can't be cast.

Type is an object (System.Type[^]), just not an object of type Form.

A Type describes the class (or enum, or whatever). It is not the class itself. You need to use Activator.CreateInstance in order to get the actual class

Hi guys!
I'm new to network programming so i'm sorry if this question is a little noobish. I started using the WebBrowser Control in c# and so far it has done my purpose. But I want to know if there is a way to utilize this same control (so I won't change my code) without the visual display. Is it possible to "hide" the control but letting it stay active? Or is there a usable base class where the WebBrowser inherits its properties and methods?
Thank you guys!

You could try setting the Visible property to false. You could instantiate it, but not add it to the Controls collection. If you wanted to, you could even use a HttpWebRequest to get a webpage's source

My first intuition was to set the visibility to false, but then it turns out that doing so disables the whole control and thus the rest of my code wont work. What do you mean by "You could instantiate it, but not add it to the Controls collection"?
Btw, I tried to instantiate it instead of adding it the control from the designer by the code: webBrowser webBrowser1 = new webBrowser(); However, it didn't work in this manner. I also can't seem to find a property that would let it not display.
I also have a code using HttpWebRequest and HttpWebResponse, but its a lot longer and I don't know how to send multiple posts and how to activate a button click...

I got it, there was this code: this.Controls.Add(this.webBrowser1) that adds the control to the windows form, All I had to do is comment it out.
Thanks for the help!

Hi,
I would like to know if I can include a progress bar when I'm trying to copy files from one location to another with :
1. The file count unknown to me.
2. The size of each file is unknown to me.
For the above conditions, I'm able to get the normal progress bar which shows progress between the starting and final positions repeatedly.
The question is whether I can use a progress bar that shows the overall progress, just like the windows file copy progress bar...
Can anyone help me on this?
Thanks in advance,
ramzg

if you don't have the numeric information, you can't show progress information, all you can do is indicate it is still busy.
so figure out what you mean by progress, and once you know how to do it by hand, you can create some code that does the same.

Hi Luc Pattyn,
Thanks for the reply.. Ya, it is not possible to show progress information here... But I forgot to include this in my question... Would I be able to get the animation that windows uses (with a transparent background, so that I can place it on my form) to indicate that the files are being copied? Or do I have to create my own animation?
Thanks,
ramzg

If you know the source of file the what is problem with counting file or File Size.

please how can i load rgb image data to array and then print it to screen from array using c#
i appriciate your reply
thank you

That seems like an odd thing to do.. But well, you could make an uint[] and use LockBits on a Bitmap and fill the array using unsafe code, then make a new Bitmap use LockBits again and then write the pixels back (unsafe code) to the new bitmap and then display the bitmap. Why? Because you asked.
Alternatively you could fill the array of uints with whatever else you want.

I'm new to C#.
I am using WebBrowser control in a form. I have a 'Back' button on the toolbar. I would like to disable the button based on 'webBrowser.CanGoBack' property. However, when browsing, I do not know when someone has clicked a link to a new page and I do not know how to create an asyncronous callback to check the property (other than using a timer; which I don't want to do). MFC C++ has MS custom WM_KICKIDLE message which could be used for such things. Can someone suggest a preferred method to do this?
thanks.

Sorry all. I figured out how to do it.
